This week, Nate is joined by Author, Robert Gordon, to discuss his book "Be Satisfied: The LIfe and Times of Muddy Waters."

In this episode, Robert and Nate discuss the epic life story of perhaps the most iconic American bluesman of all, from Muddy's beginnings at the Stovall Plantation in the Mississippi Delta, his first recordings for the Library of Congress, his move to Chicago and role in pioneering electric blues, all the way to his influence on the British blues revival and later years as an elder statesman of American music.
